Most of those on board were from the town of Fass Boye (Fass Boue) in Senegal,[6][7] with two from Guinea-Bissau.[8]

Route edit

The vessel set out from Fass Boye, some 80 kilometres (50 mi) along the coast northeast of Dakar, on 10 July, intending to head for the Canary Islands, with as many as 130 persons estimated to have been on board. On 20 July, concerned relatives contacted the Spanish NGO Caminando Fronteras / Walking Borders [es], who in turn alerted[9] the authorities in Senegal, Mauritania, Morocco and Spain. The boat was eventually found, about 150 nautical miles north-east of the island of Sal, by the Spanish fishing boat Zillarri, operated by the tuna fishing company Pevasa, on 14 August.[8] 45 people were aboard, 38 survivors and 7 dead.[10]

Aftermath edit

On Monday 21 August, 37 of the 38 survivors were repatriated from Cape Verde to Senegal. The remaining survivor was insufficiently recovered for travel at that stage.[2][11] In Senegal, difficult economic conditions[11] and especially dwindling fish stocks were blamed for the disaster.[1]
